This past election cycle had a big impact on Americans, especially women. And most of us women are concerned about our futures in Trump's America. Though the election results aren't going to change, and Trump's inauguration is coming whether we like…

Saying my ex-boyfriend cheated on me is a bit of an understatement. It wasn't a one-time mistake, a drunken lapse in judgment or a way out of the relationship. It was continuous, conscious choices that he went above and beyond to hide. I have to…

Wouldn't you like to know if you're wasting your time with a guy before you've already invested too much time in him? And that's what zodiac signs are for, right? OK, maybe not, but I mean, it really doesn't hurt to involve his astrological sign in…

Scorpio is quite possibly the most intense, complicated sign of the zodiac. If you are a Scorpio, you know this first hand, and if you've dated a Scorpio, you've gotten a close and personal look. Dating a Scorpio isn't for everyone, though if you…

For as long as I can remember I've played sports. You name a sport, I've probably played it: volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer and even lacrosse. Even though this made my social life practically nonexistent, it forced me to exercise every…

Flashback to when I first started a relationship with my boyfriend: I was three years younger and terrified of the women who called his phone multiple times a day. Her only child was barely into his first year of college, and it was safe to say she…

Meal prep is way of life. The art of taking the preliminary steps to make sure you avoid the unhealthy foods you'll be craving later in the week is grueling. This is especially true if you're even a slightly lazy person. If you've ever struggled to…

Ghosting, benching, fuckboys and fuckgirls. They all mean the same thing: They're just not that into you. It's really as simple as that. We don't have to spend hours researching the motives and reasons you've been benched. The answer is right there…

"Plus-size: (of clothing or people) of a size larger than the normal range." That's the first thing that pops up when I ask Google to define the term "plus-size," and I'm not even sure what to think of this. I don't know if I'm more angry, confused…

OK, so the real world is here. By "real world," I mean the fact that your problems are suddenly much bigger than the fact that you need an outfit for happy hour, or that the frat guy from next door hasn't texted you back. You're an adult now, and…

My parents have given me more than I could have ever asked for in life. The best thing my parents gave me, however, wasn't some kind of gift. It was my sister. Even though I sometimes wished I had been an only child growing up, I always knew my…

We all know that one friend who lives, breathes and dreams Justin Bieber. I'd like to say that person is my teenage sister, but to be completely honest, it's not. J Biebs is no longer just a 13-year-old's fantasy. He now has young adults crushing on…

Growing up, I watched every single "Full House" episode approximately 22 times. I watched it when I woke up, in the middle of the day and before I went to bed. I'm not sure when I saw my first episode, and I'm not sure when I'll see my last. I spent…

It seems like Greek life is practically never in the media for anything positive. Actually, it doesn't just seem that way. It is that way. The media is always blasting stories about hazing, illegal activities, charters getting pulled and other…

There is no doubt in my mind I am a way better version of myself when I’m not in a relationship. I f*cking rock when I’m single. I know this, my friends know this, and my family knows this. It’s no secret. The only problem is I’m not single. But…
